Original post: Turn your phone sideways to view this image correctly • Corona Arch and the Bootlegger Canyon area is a fantastic location at night. The Team at Taylor Photography is heading back to the American Southwest in one week and we’re stoked to be capturing & sharing more moments from a classic American month-long road trip. We’re looking forward to dark night skies, warmer temperatures, great colors and exploring new locales but we’ll also be revisiting Corona Arch.
Captured in May 2014, this image is a blend of 118 frames: 117 exposures during a time lapse for the arch being statically lit from below with an LED panel as the Milky Way rises above, and 1 long exposure of 5 minutes for the foreground lit only by ambient light without the LED – otherwise the canyon was completely black. We have a Before & After graphic of this sequence on Flickr and on our website under the Processing page for anyone who wants to see the Behind The Scenes information.
Thanks to everyone who has been digging our work here on Instagram. Cheers!
